Hi L and all your letters :)
There is an Abraham Tomkins in 1841 census
Tilsworth Beds
35 (ages rounded off in this census and no relationships listed) agricultural labourer.
Also a Michael Tomkins 45 butcher.
Both are listed as born county.
I hope this is of some help.
Mormons IGI have a baptism for Abraham,1802 parents Thomas & Mary.
Through the batch number there is Michael 1788 and Benjamin 1799.
I'm sure you probably have all this?
Cheers

I thank you all for your hard work and timely response

I have very little info to help with as far as this Tompkins for the siblings of Joseph Tompkins.Tomkins, i know it been said Joseph died shortly after arriving to America, due to tainted meat that he consumed.

the info provided lines up with the area that people presume the tomkins are from but no one here as any real dates, folklore ore doc.

i know i have a lot of work to do , but its worth the searching

again that you for all of you and you continued help with my tompkins line
